An OFW Dreams by Felanie B. Gabat
Over the course of time
Every fiasco of life
In every steps to attain success
Enduring the pain is required

I left my family to survive
In other country I strived
For there's only one prayer inside
Greener pasture betide

While working abroad
Inevitable catastrophe in force
Employers attitude at worst
Family problem occurred
Other than that, debt is increasing.
Family business is declining
Monthly wage is insufficient
To supply all the things we need

In desperation I cried
Searching for hope I tried
For I cannot lie
I felt dying inside
In my perplexion and loneliness
I start reminiscing His words
I recalled His promises
With venerate I bow down and prayed

Clinging to His words
Is the best thing I did
It changes my character
And vanquish my fear

I spend more time in the church
For my family, I tried to reach them out
As for my job, I gave my very best
And gradually we repay the debt

Our business is still operating
For our good God is working
Hence, a few years more to go
Thanks ang good bye HK will ensue
About the Poem: "A poem that expresses my struggles, aspirations and how did I overcome them. It shows also the secret ingredients of my well being. In this life, failures are unavoidable. It happens in an unexpected moment of our life and I could say that because of this we may loss hope, joy and peace. And as we experiencing these situations, anxiety may knock our door, hopelessness and stressful life. But through these situations i found hope in Christ through His words and tasted peace in every sadness that life could bring.. Yes, indeed it is available and possible in Him .. Hope this poem could bring encouragement to know Him .. Thanks and God bless.."
